Gu Chen looked at Le Zhengyang in front of him and didn't know why the other party had come so late.
Le Zhengyang smiled slightly, cupped his fist, and said, "It is indeed a bit late. I hope Lord Gu will not take offense for the intrusion."
Gu Chen remained calm and said, "Just speak your mind, Lord Le."
Le Zhengyang didn't stand on ceremony and walked in. He sat down at the seat next to the table and said, "I wonder how Lord Gu views the current situation of the world?"
Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he spoke indifferently, "What do you mean by that, Lord Le?"
Le Zhengyang chuckled and said, "I mean no other, but right now, with the Human Emperor missing and chaos looming over the nine states, with storms brewing, we, as commanders of the Jing Tian Department and occupants of high positions, naturally have to consider the future."
As he spoke, he looked toward Gu Chen and said, "What are your plans for the future, Lord Gu?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I have no particular plans; everything is in accordance with the Jing Tian Department. Whatever the Qin Command says, I will follow, as after all, throughout the world, I'm just a minor figure."
Le Zhengyang laughed and said, "Lord Gu, you really mustn't belittle yourself. If even you, famous throughout the land and ranked first on the Leaderboard of Heroes, consider yourself a minor figure, then I am even less significant."
Hearing these words, Gu Chen didn't speak; he just quietly looked at him.
If Le Zhengyang had come here tonight just to flatter him, then he could leave now. Gu Chen valued strength over fame.
Seeing this, Le Zhengyang straightened up and said, "Lord Gu, to tell you the truth, right now, the alien races outside Yan State are restless, and within, the Holy Shadows Sect and Black Sky Sect from the Six Union God Sect are lurking, creating a grim situation, even dire. I was part of that battle, and the strength of the six demon sects can only be described as unfathomably deep!"
He paused, and seeing that Gu Chen remained silent, Le Zhengyang continued, "Have you ever thought, Lord Gu, that if the six demon sects under the command of the Six Union God Sect have such strength, what level must the main sect itself be at? The Six Union God Sect has been wiped out in the nine states for over three hundred years; why does it return with such formidable power?
Who has been secretly developing the Six Union God Sect this far?"
These words truly piqued Gu Chen's interest. Le Zhengyang was right; the Six Union God Sect had been absent from the nine states for so long, who could have the capability to lead it in the dark and accumulate such strength?
Le Zhengyang's speech immediately sparked many thoughts in Gu Chen.
Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Le Zhengyang knew that his goal had been partially achieved.
Le Zhengyang sighed softly and said, "To speak frankly with you, Lord Gu, Yan State is currently the most tumultuous region in the world. The remaining forces of the Yan State Jing Tian Department are insufficient to suppress the local area. Even if Tiandu provides further support later on, the demonic sects will not allow the reinforcements to arrive so easily.
I assume that your journey here, Lord Gu, was not peaceful, right?"
"The demonic sects will definitely draw the Jing Tian Department's energy from other places. At that time, the whole Yan State may very well find itself in the awkward position of being isolated with no support."
Le Zhengyang's words were not without reason; Gu Chen also somewhat agreed. After all, someone had leaked their travel route on the way, leading to the pursuit by the Blood Garment Tower.
If it were not for Gu Chen's strong capabilities, they would not have reached Yan State at all.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
A tall figure covered in dark scales sat within, exuding a heart-palpitating oppressive and cold presence.
It had a ferocious appearance, oozing black energy all over, seemingly like a demon from hell just on looks alone.
At that moment, it had its eyes closed as the blood in the pool churned, reaching up to its waist.
Just then, two figures silently appeared. Looking at the dark shadow in the blood pool, one of them said, "The combined blood of three hundred thousand people amounts to so little; it's far from enough for this Disaster Level demonic creature to absorb. To push it to its limit, or even to break through that limit and reach a higher rank, the blood of ordinary people just isn't potent enough.
We need more, purer blood."
A Disaster Level demonic creature was equivalent to a martial arts grandmaster of the Human Clan, while a higher rank was akin to the top grandmasters!
These two were from the Holy Shadows Sect and the Black Sky Sect, and the reason they had previously clashed with the Jing Tian Department was to collect refined blood to help this demon break through.
According to the current situation, the higher the level of the demonic creature, the harder it is to descend upon the lands of the Human Clan. So, the demonic cults came up with a method to cultivate one on their own.
After all, as long as it kept devouring refined blood, the demonic creature could continue to evolve, which was their goal.
"It's beyond me how the Sect managed to find such a secret method, not only to control these demons but even to merge with them, turning into an undying existence."
"Need you ask? It's undoubtedly because of our Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is unmatched in martial prowess. It is with this secret method that our Sect has prospered and, given enough time, is bound to surpass the past and reach a new peak. At that time, there would be nothing in these lands to stop us, not even the six sacred grounds. We will usher in a new era for the Human Clan."
As the two looked towards the Disaster Level demonic creature in the blood pool, the member from the Holy Shadows Sect said, "Hmm... To promote this fellow to a higher rank, it seems we need the blood of a million or even more people. The imperial court will never allow us to do this, and it's not so easy to kill that many people. It looks like we need to find another way."
The other sneered and responded, "Don't worry, my Sect has long made plans. In three days, there will be a grand gathering at Changqing Mansion in Yan State. The prodigious warriors from the top powers of Yan State will all be there. As long as we kill them all, their blood will suffice to advance this demon further."
"Moreover, Yan State won't last much longer. It will eventually fall to our Sect. By then, all the citizens across the three major mansions of Yan State will be sacrificed in blood, and our Sect's strength will surely peak in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Shadows Sect martial artist asked, "Have the two Sect Leaders emerged from seclusion?"
"No, the Defender of the Jing Tian Department in Yan State indeed has formidable strength, and both Sect Leaders have been injured. When they emerge, it will coincide with the fall of Yan State."
The Holy Shadows Sect martial artist agreed and said, "That's right, with the combined strength of your Sect and mine, and our alliance with the barbaric tribes, there's no reason we can't break through Yan State!"
"Forget Yan State, in the future, the whole world will belong to our Sect!"
...
Soon, three days passed, and during this time, Le Zhengyang informed Gu Chen about the location of the gathering. After contemplating, Gu Chen decided to go. Read new adventures at empire
Changqing Mansion's Liuyun Mountain was not far from Yulong City, and with Gu Chen's current speed, it didn't take long for him to arrive.
At this moment, the so-called grand exchange gathering had already officially begun.
